Try using ctrl plus shift, plus page down until you have selected the text
that you want.
Next, use ctrl plus c, to copy, and then paste the materials where you want
it to go.

This actually was not what I am asking. Let us say I need to copy a
chapter from a textbook that is several pages long. How can I do this,
other than going paragraph by paragraph and appending? I know sighted
people can do this, and I can do it quite easily with a notetaker.

Hi Kelby,
Try the information below to see if this will do what you are wanting to
accomplish.
The F8 key in Word is a Toggle. You press the F8 key a different number
of
times to select different amounts of text.
Pressing the F8 key 1 time turns extended selection mode on. In this mode
you can arrow up or down to select text line by line.
Pressing the F8 key 2 times will copy the highlighted word.
Pressing the F8 key 3 times will copy the sentence the cursor is in.
Pressing the F8 key 4 times will copy the paragraph the cursor is in.
Pressing the F8 key 5 times will copy the document.
Hope this has helped. Take care.
Mike

Brief question from a first-timer. Is there a way to block
text--as in multiple paragraphs--for selection in a document with
JAWS? Like highlighting a certain section of thedocument that is
not just a line, word or paragraph for copying and/or cutting?
